Get
behind your right to read freely and celebrate Banned Books Week! City Lit
Theater Company will return to the library to present a highly entertaining
concert reading of excerpts from the top ten most frequently challenged books
of 2012. Since 2006, City Lit--a Chicago theater specializing in staged
adaptations of literary material--has teamed up with the American Library
Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom in honor of Banned Books Week. Its
actors perform Books on the Chopping Block at special events, libraries, and
bookstores in and around Chicago all week long. The performance runs 50 minutes
and is followed by a discussion. While the program is intended for adults,
children in approximately grade 6 and up are welcome to attend.
